I, found this quote be extremely true when i had the pleasure to attend the bloggers meet held by ” Dupont, which was focused on creating awareness about the incorporation of probiotics in our diets.

What are Probiotics & why are they necessary?

Probioticsare live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially yourdigestive system. Your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. The amount of good bacteria present in your body is almost the size of your fist.

You can find probiotics in supplements and some foods, like yogurt, Kefir, miso soup etc.

What should I look for on the labels of probiotic foods?

The first thing you want to look for is the full probiotic name, which includes the genus, species, and then the strain. Many products containing probiotics list only the genus and species on the package, such as “bifidobacterium lactis”.

But you must look out for these factors as well :

The strain used in the product.

How much of the probiotic each serving of the product contains.

The research that suggested a health benefit from the probiotic in question, and the amount of probiotic that was used in the research.

Can you name some probiotic products manufactured by Dupont?

Howaru premium probiotics

Florafit probiotics

Howaru Premium Probiotics again have a few products which are concern specific like ;

We all are very well versed with the health benefits of probiotics like better immune system, better digestive health, clearing up of allergies, etc., but do we know that probiotics have proven to be a great way to improve your emotional & mental health as well?

Here is an excerpt to throw some light on this :

An increasing number of studies linkgut healthto mood and mental health (14).

Both animal and human studies find that probiotic supplements can improve some mental health disorders (15).

One study followed 70 chemical workers for 6 weeks. Those who consumed 100 grams of probiotic yogurt per day or took a daily probiotic capsule experienced benefits for general health, depression, anxiety and stress (16).

Benefits were also seen in a study of 40 patients with depression

The meet ended on a very positive note about trying to be a part of the journey to get healthy with probiotics.

Mediatek, organised its third chapter of its Technology Diaries series in Bangalore. The third chapter in the series was hosted by Bengaluru’s voice & much loved RJ, Sriram Sullia of Fever 104FM.

Co-hosting the series was the “Tech Guru” Rajiv Makhni, managing editor at NDTV and host of a show Tech Makhni on Radio Mirchi, along with Anku Jain, Managing Director, MediaTek India and Anuj Sidharth, Sr. Manager, Marketing and Communications, MediaTek India.

About the Mediatek Technology Diaries, Bangalore :

We, saw the evening unfold as RJ Sriram Sullia talk about how technology has progressed by the leaps and bounds and how it has established itself in our daily lives. One of the most important & eye opening questions posed to the audience was, ” Name one smart device or a thing that we use at home which doesn’t use a chip?” And that question caught all of us off guard, as we just couldn’t name one.

The Tech Guru aka Rajiv Makhni then went ahead to demystify the usage and the implementation of nanotechnology in our day to day lives and how it has become an intrinsic part of our environment. What was the most surprising snippet of the conversation was the fact that majority of the times, the devices that we use are Mediatek enabled. From mobile to health industry, Mediatek is prevalent amongst a majority of the devices that rely on the chip.

Rajiv Makhni, touched the topic of Artificial Intelligence in Self Driven Cars. Personally, i’m a tad bit too unsure of relying on self driven cars but with the exponential rise in the development of AI that day isn’t too far when i’m going to be open to this technology.

This system will increase speed for face recognition in both the security system and the camera. We are also on the lookout for their Helio P90 which is scheduled to be out soon.

About Mediatek :

MediaTek is the world’s 4th largest global fabless semiconductor company and powers more than 1.5 billion devices a year. It is a market leader in power-efficient systems-on-chip (SoC) for mobile devices, smart home solutions, and automotive.

Conclusion:

We are progressing towards a world that’s going to be held with the strings of technology even more tightly & firmly than what we are subjected to today. MediaTek, has already heralded that & has made the whole concept of A I much more understandable & lucrative.
